For the Love of Writing

I've been trying to think of something to write for days, but my mind has been so very faraway. One idea was to do a lengthy blog musing on the subject of love, scrap that. Instead I suppose I can ramble on about stories.

Today my newest short story, Let It Hurt, was released through Torquere Press. Yay! I have at least one more coming out via them this year and hopefully I can sell them a couple more. There are a few other stories being released in the next two months from various publishers; very excited! And I eagerly await word on a series I submitted.

Currently I'm working on a twisted fairytale and following that up with a mixed race couple. Also knee deep in a very emotional novel that I will (fingers crossed) have done super quickly.

Later this afternoon, into the evening, I will sit down with a treat, curled up on the couch with my fuzzy companions, and work on some outlines.

It hasn't been the greatest week so I've taken to burying myself in writing projects. At least I feel very driven to get stories written and out the door!

New Opportunities, Renewed Determination

Thanks to one of my publishers, JMS Books (JM is totally awesome!), I have found my way to Coffee Time Romance & More. They have such great opportunities and I'm looking forward to exploring their website more. You should take a moment to check them out. Last month my brother took me ghost-hunting. Talk about a fantastic experience! We went for the VIP trip; which might have made it even better. While there I had the fortune to meet the acquaintance of a man who may be a big help in regards to my writing. Definitely excited about that! Also, if you've never gone ghost hunting, you definitely should! The Odyssey Paranormal Society is amazing, great hosts, and I will hopefully get the chance to investigate with them again in the future. We spent that weekend at Edinburgh Manor, a former asylum out in Iowa. Loved it, and yeah, it gave me a few ideas. Now I know that I've been gone a for a while, but I'm trying to get back into the groove of things. I'm also

Goodbye January, Hello February

How is that a month of 2017 has already gone by? When did that happen? It was an interesting 31 days that included going to the movies, getting sick, arguing with my boss (I'm sure she hates my guts, whatever), and lots of writing. Unfortunately, there wasn't much in the way of snow. This girl is still waiting for her first blizzard. Of course, the highlight of the month was my interview with USA Today's Happily Ever After blog. Yay! And then I got some tweets and mentions by Sinfully Gay Romance Reviews; which was equally as awesome. Here's to hoping that both of them help out my sales and in building my name. So how did January go for me? (I'm going to try a new set-up here...) January's Writing in Review The month didn't start off with much promise. I was sick and that put me behind, plus a lifestyle change left me fairly tired. That left me scrambling the last two weeks or so to get my work done by deadlines. But I learned I was up to the task if I

Brief Word Count

I have been doing relatively poorly so please excuse me for my lack of updates. Ugh. I'm also way behind on my word goals for the month. Maybe putting it down here for everyone to read will kick me in the patootie and make me accountable for my procrastination! Born of Stars - 8990/85,000 This one has grown by nearly 4,000 words, so I suppose that isn't too shabby. In His Arms - 5,587/70,000 I need to do work on this! Feather - 0/70,000 Yeah...haven't done a thing. Oops. In The Shadow of Trees - 2,721/70,000 Hey, at least it's a start! And for the novellas... Summer Loving - 10,796/30,000 Yay! A third of the way to the intended goal. Alice - 0/15,000 Yep, another one I've slacked off on. And I think it needs a new name. Cowboy Music - 0/25,000 I really need to bust my butt on this one because it actually has a deadline. For the end of the month. Like He Does - 1,201/10,000 Decent progress. Just need to make some changes and get back to it.
